I was doing one of the writing exercises and the sentence given was, "I decided to wait and see if a car passed by to call for help." I figured the translation of "passed by" would be "pasera" (past subjunctive), but the answer given was "pasaba." Why wouldn't we need to use subjunctive here since it's uncertain whether a car will actually pass by?
In the example “Ellos siempre estan comiendo” why is the present progressive tense used. In my research I learned that the progressive tense is used for temporary ongoing action. The use of siempre implies that it is not temporary.
Why is creer not the right verb for "she thought that" . Difference between pensar and creer please?
The question asks for the translation for "she loves him." You need to change the tense.
As with the majority of these writing options, how about including common Latin American options like el carro, manejar, and ¡Qué ganga! for this exercise.
I greatly appreciate all the hard work in making up these exercises, and adding the options for Latin American speakers would make this site and these exercises even better.
"El hemisferio meridional" is an accepted (though perhaps less common) equivalent of "southern hemisphere." Perhaps it could be added as a correct answer.
